Thanks for the link, I’m watching the IPTV feed, at the moment.
It’s really interesting, and aimed at a general audience - pity it’s not advertised more widely.

Top comment so far on the chat box: "Mars is flat?".
Might be an ideal to close the live chat module, as it nears 1/2m key tappers.

Official link I believe that is better quality and live!

You'd miss Raymond Baxter or James Burke at times like this.

That's nothing they are streaming in in 360 too.

Have the Martians organised a welcoming committee ?

Because of the light delay between Earth and Mars all the comms are about 8 minutes delayed.

Here come the usual know-it-alls.

Can be seen on TV, satellite at 13 East.

NASA TV HD is transmitted free-to-air from the popular HOTBIRD video neighbourhood at 13° East for viewers in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and via the 7° East video neighbourhood for viewers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

First image. The dust cover is still on the camera lens hence the spots of dust and will pop off later.

Marvin, I told you to take out the unwelcome visitor from Earth during atmosphere entry when the NASA nerds can't see it.
Now you're going to have to find it on the ground and fake some sort of accident. Again.

Surprised there wasn't a live feed of the landing itself, it is 2018 like, cameras do exist now.

Atoms for Peace

No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinised as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us...

It may be 2018, but I think many folks don't get how scarily far away Mars is from Earth. The distance involved for a signal to cross is almost beyond comprehension outside of the raw numbers involved. think about it this way, light is the fastest thing in the known universe and it takes between six to eight minutes to get from here to there. And that's motoring along at 186,000 miles per second. The power required to send say high def live images from Mars to Earth would be large, the antenna needed to send the signals massive. That we see any sort of semi live images at all from such a small craft with a tiny aerial running not much power is a wonder of technology.

Zirconia

I think he was talking about the poor video quality from the JPL control room - that's not coming from Mars itself and the quality was pretty poor!

They are trying to find out what went wrong there

Franz Von Peppercorn

I don’t buy that we can’t have a good signal from mars. That documentary, about the guy who survived on spuds grown in his own shít was high definition.

Perhaps they are thinking of putting a Refugee Centre / Halting Site there .

Successful landing, first images from the surface taken. Instrument checkout begins. The real science won't begin until the Spring.

Well done InSight mission team!:)

Now to find the reactor.

What else can they do? The Moon's been done,Mars still holds a bit of mystery in the public imagination.

Raheem Euro

We're unlikely to be sending a manned mission to the gas giants. To get to the planets further out, Mars will be a likely staging point. Its all incremental.

We currently know the effect of long duration on humans in Low Earth Orbit. Next we want to see the effect of long duration outside of the magnetosphere - which will done in the upcoming station orbiting the moon. After that we can find how humans cope in the gravity and atmosphere of another planet with people living in a Martian Base.

This planet is overpopulated, its resources depleted and its environment wrecked. Space exploration might just come in handy some day.
